I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again...

We need to keep two things in mind as we tentatively approach this season..

1. Some players will inevitably infect others due to the close proximity in practice and games. This is true no matter what protocols are employed, just as is the case of the flu or cold contagion.

2. These players are among the very lowest at-risk people on the planet in terms of mortality, if infected.

These two things are not mutually exclusive.
